Today I want to share with you all a cool travel tip. I made this up a year or so ago when I stayed in a hotel with my then 8 month old son. He has always been a great sleeper but he has slept in his own crib in his own room from the beginning so when I set up the travel crib in the hotel room next to the bed and expected him just to go off to sleep it wasn't going to happen. If he could see me there was no way he was going to fall asleep. This is what I did and what you can do:
- Carry a few thumb tacks (at least 2) in a candy tin (like Altoids) in your luggage
- Get an extra sheet or blanket from the front desk if there is not one in your room
- Identify your best location usually the bathroom area or the hallway to the front door
- pull crib into this location
- Secure the sheet/blanket to the wall with the tacks covering the entry to the bathroom or hallway creating a barrier between the crib and the rest of the room
- If you choose the hallway leading to the front door hang the do not disturb sign on the outside of the door (you don't want the maid knocking on the door at 6am) also take advantage of all locks and chain type devises. Also, make sure you have everything you need out of your car before putting the baby to bed.
Happy traveling!!
